What is meant by reflection of light? Define the following terms used in the study of reflection of light by drawing a labelled ray diagram.
a) incident ray
b) point of incidence
c) normal
d) reflected ray
e) angle of incidence
f) angle of reflection

The phenomenon of light reflection occurs when a light beam bounces back from a surface.

a) Incident ray: The beam of light that strikes the mirror.

b) Angle of incidence: The angle at which the incident ray strikes the surface.

c) Normal: The line that intersects the mirror at a right angle.

d) Reflected ray: The beam of light that returns from the mirror.

e) Angle of incidence: At the point of incidence, the angle formed by the incident ray with the normal.

f) Angle of reflection: At the point of incidence, the angle formed by the reflected ray with the normal.
